Delivery Estimate
The patterns on this beautiful 100% alpaca shoulder bag are inspired by ancient Inca motifs. The bag is crafted entirely by hand by the artisans of the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco. They raise the alpacas and llamas to obtain the fleece; shear, dye and spin the wool; and weave the textile on a traditional waist loom. The fully-lined bag closes with a zipper and features an adjustable strap and an interior zipper pocket.

"Appropriate name!"
This is much roomier than the small shoulder bags, and can hold a wallet and papers as needed. Same soft feel and beautiful colors. A work of art.
Best Uses
- large enough to hold all the regular suspects for carrying around in a purse

"Unique, artful, beautiful colors, and useful, as well!"
This handbag is absolutely beautiful! The colors are both gentle and calming (the blues and greens) and eyecatchingly bright -- (the beautiful berry/wine colored section down the center, which also incorporates lots of other colors.) This bag has a wonderful texture to it, as well. I love that it was loom-woven, and is also one-of-a-kind. Its sturdy, and a useful size, as well, and easily holds my (large) wallet, phone, and other necessities.
